Totally Irrational!’ Keir Starmer Hit with Blistering Warning Over Migrant Crisis Misstep”

A source from the Home Office has said that the Government wants to keep the public better informed about how many foreign criminals are still in the UK waiting to be deported. They also want people to know what crimes these individuals have committed and which countries they come from.

Following pressure from politicians across different parties, the Labour Government has agreed to publish what they’re calling a “league table” – a list showing how many crimes have been committed by migrants and which nationalities are most involved. William Coulston, the leader of the Social Democratic Party, welcomed this move and said it was long overdue.

Home Secretary Yvette Cooper has asked officials to prepare a detailed report showing exactly what offences were committed by foreign criminals who are still in the UK, even though they are meant to be deported.

This league table is expected to be published before the end of the year.

William Coulston spoke to GB News, saying that he has always believed the public deserves to know this kind of information. “I’ve argued for a long time that people have a right to know,” he said. “We can’t create proper policies if we don’t have clear data. It’s only common sense.”

Coulston also claimed that there has been a lack of transparency from the Government about this issue. He believes there may have been a cover-up in the past and praised MPs like Neil O’Brien, Rupert Lowe, and Nick Timothy for pushing Labour to finally take action.

“The public needs to see this data,” Coulston said. “Thanks to these MPs who didn’t give up on asking for it.”

According to new analysis from the Centre for Migration Control, Albanians currently top the list of foreign nationals most likely to be arrested in the UK.

When asked how this data might affect Labour’s approach to immigration, Coulston gave a warning. He said it would be a big mistake for the Government to keep allowing large numbers of migrants from countries that appear at the top of the league table for crime.

“If we learn from the data that people from a certain country are far more likely to commit crimes, then it would be completely foolish to continue letting so many people in from that country,” he said. “We’ve lost control of the southern border, and for years, our economy has been relying on cheap, low-skilled labour without really understanding the impact.”

Coulston also suggested that the Government should release another type of league table – one that shows the net contributions of migrants from different countries. In other words, how much they contribute to the economy compared to how much they cost the country.

“If we want to make smart decisions about immigration, we need to know not just about the crime side, but also whether certain groups are adding value to the country,” he said. “Without that information, how can we make the right choices?”

He gave an example: “If 700 undocumented people arrive on the south coast every day, and each of them ends up costing the country around £500,000 over their lifetime, then the total cost could reach hundreds of millions of pounds. The public deserves to know this.”

Coulston finished by saying that the people of the UK should be able to hold politicians accountable based on this kind of data.

The Home Office confirmed their goal is to be more open with the public. A spokesperson said:
“We want to make sure people know how many foreign criminals are still in the country, where they’re from, and what crimes they’ve committed.”
